November 21, 201312 yr comment_542370 There are some tiny eggs in a bucket of water on my deck and I'm trying to work out what they are. They are laid on the surface, in clusters ranging in size from about 2 x 2mm to 5 x 5 mm. They are black, slightly bigger than bloodworm eggs, and spaced evenly. They're too small to take a photo :oops: Report
